Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 43 Shameless person

The real name of this gold inscription is Zhang Shenyan, also known as Jin Ming. His grandfather Zhang Sheng participated in politics in Henan. He himself served as Taichang Qing and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. However, he failed to satisfy Emperor Chongzhen when he tried Geng Ruqi's case in the second year of Chongzhen, so he and Shangshu Han Jien was thrown into prison together, and soon he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

After Zhang Shenyan returned to his hometown, he stayed at home leisurely, practicing calligraphy and writing articles and poems. Although he was a man of action, his calligraphy achievements were no less than that of Wang Duo, whom Zhang Shun had met before. He was as famous as Dong Qichang, the great calligrapher at that time, and was sometimes known as "Southern Dong Bei Miao".

At that time, the small Tuncheng Village was at the peak of its literary style. There are two big families in the village, Zheng and Zhang. Among them, the Zheng family flourished in the Yuan Dynasty, and their family members were granted the title of Duke twice within four generations; while the Zhang family became officials for three generations starting from Zhang Sheng.

When Zhang Shun led his troops to attack, they encountered some resistance. However, Wukong and Chen Changzhen were highly skilled in martial arts, and they defeated each other with a single charge. As for Xiao Qinhu who still had doubts in his heart and did not want to "harm the people", Zhang Shun did not force it.

Zhang Shenyan once served as the magistrate of Shouzhang County, and also presided over the recruitment of exiled Liao people to farm in Tianjin. He had considerable organizational skills. Suddenly he heard that the thieves were coming, so he temporarily organized servants and picked up farm tools such as hoes and shovels to try to guard the door of his house.

Zhang Shun's subordinates failed to fight against the officers and soldiers. To deal with these ordinary people, it was really like a tiger overtaking a flock of sheep. Zhang Shun just ordered Wukong to rush up and knock down a few slaves, and the guards at Zhang Shenyan's house dispersed in a hurry.

Zhang Shen said who he was. When he saw this scene, he knew that the thief was coming for him, so he stood up with a sword and shouted: "Who are you, and why did you break into the house without permission?"

"We, the rebels, are here to help Mr. Trouble with the real dragon." At this time, Chen Jindou and Zhao Yutou were a little scared to see the official and did not dare to answer. On the contrary, Chen Jingzhi often interacted with Confucian scholars and gentry and could answer.

"Who are you?" Zhang Shenyan said proudly.

"Chen Jingzhi, who was born in the late Wenxiang County of Meng County, met Zhang Shilang." It was also the first time for Chen Jingzhi to see such a high official, and he couldn't help but respect him respectfully. This minister is a high official of the third rank, second only to the six ministers. Because the prime minister was abolished in the Ming Dynasty, the six ministers had great power, so the left and right ministers under the ministers also rose with the tide.

"I see that you are also a scholar, why are you a thief! But you don't know about filial piety, loyalty, etiquette, justice and shame. Have you read all the books of sages and sages into the dog's belly!" Zhang Shenyan shouted loudly.

When Chen Jingzhi heard the words, he was only obedient and didn't know how to refute. On the contrary, Taoist Master Ma was well-informed and was not forced by his momentum. Instead, he smiled and said: "The old minister is joking. If the scholars in this world don't read their books into the belly of dogs, how can there be rebels like me?"

"This world is originally governed by you who read the books of sages. If you govern like this, the world is in chaos and the world is in chaos, how can you have the face to scold others?"

Taoist Master Ma's words made Zhang Shenyan choked and speechless. He actually upheld justice, but was forced by others to use it. Zhang Shenyan is a gentleman, and he has never quibbled with Taoist Ma, who travels around the world and speaks sharply.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun quickly answered: "The Taoist Master has said that Zhang Shilang is no longer in his position. As the saying goes, 'If you are not in his position, you will not seek political power.' Now that the world is corrupt, how can you blame the old Shilang? Today Zhang He is recommended by everyone and ranked first in the list. He has always had the ambition to do justice for heaven. I heard that the old minister is upright and talented, so I came here to invite the world and calm the troubles in all directions."

"Bah!" Zhang Shenyan spat at Zhang Shun after hearing this, and laughed angrily: "You are a clown who can be wiped out overnight, but how dare you rise to the top of a monkey and conquer the world? It's like a toad yawning - such a loud tone! "

Zhang Shun laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "How short-sighted the old minister is. Qin lost its deer and the whole world chased it away. In the past, Taizu of Ming Dynasty started from a young age. Not only was he a hero, he was actually the tyranny of Meng Yuan, which completely lost the hearts of the world. . Today, the Ming Dynasty has experienced changes in the sky, starving people are everywhere, and heroes are everywhere. How is it different from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty in the past? The old minister has returned to his official position at home and is no longer his minister. Why should he cling to his disability and defend his position, helping the emperor to expose the Ming Dynasty? "

"Once you are a king, you will always be a king; once you are a minister, you will always be a minister. Being loyal to the end is loyalty. How can you say that you are not a minister?" Zhang Shenyan said with a smile, "Since ancient times, there have only been loyal ministers. How can you hear that? The other two smell bad?"

Before he finished speaking, he wanted to kill himself. Fortunately, Chen Changzhen was well prepared and shot down the sword in his hand with just one arrow. Wukong took the opportunity to capture him and brought him to Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun is well aware that his foundation is weak and he does not lack management talents for the time being. I came here this time with the idea of ​​"hitting a pole if there are jujubes but no jujubes", but I never thought that this person would be so strong-willed.

Since ancient times, when things have nothing to do with oneself, people often ridicule others for their stupidity and loyalty. But once it comes to the affairs of the monarch and his ministers, he has to admire the loyal people of other families. Zhang Shun's current mentality is like this, just like the relationship between men and women, it is always best to not get it.

At this time, Zhang Shun couldn't help but become determined to recruit his people, so he threatened: "You are dead, but how can Zhang's family be full of people?"

"If you have a loyal husband, you must have a loyal wife; if you have a loyal father, you must have a loyal son! That's all, kill me quickly." Zhang Shen said that he was still unyielding.

After hearing this, Zhang Shun respected him even more and asked, "Do you have a daughter or granddaughter?" After hearing this, Zhang Shenyan only thought that the other party wanted to insult his own women, so he couldn't help but cursed: "Bitch thief, you can be so rampant for a while, but I am free to go underground. Waiting for you to be cut to pieces!"

At this time, Chen Jindou came out of Zhang's courtyard and whispered to Zhang Shun: "He has several wives and concubines. He has no daughter and only has a granddaughter of several years old. I wonder what the lord is going to do with her?"

Disposal? Zhang Shun thought that it was really impossible to deal with it, so he took an in-law relationship with him. Seeing that he was embarrassed and regarded him as his enemy, this plan did not work. Fortunately, this man was always quick-witted. If his plan failed, he would find another one. He smiled and said, "Sir Zhang, you are so forgetful, but do you still remember Xia Yuhe from Chenzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty?"

"What Xia Yuhe?" Zhang Shenyan was confused.

"Alas, since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and hatred, and this hatred lasts forever. I am afraid that if you are greedy for pleasure, you will forget what you have done. Before my mother died, she took my hand and said: 'Shun'er Shun'er, your surname is Zhang, don't forget Yangcheng Tuncheng Village. It's a pity that I have traveled thousands of miles to find my relatives, but I don't know each other. I feel so miserable in my heart. But you are ruthless and I can't be unjust. How can I want you when I come here this time? Not only can I not hurt you, but I also want to protect you. I want to say hello to my brothers on the road more often: This Tuncheng Village cannot be hurt. Injuring one of them is like hurting my own relatives, and insulting one of them is like insulting my mother. If you violate it, I will We must be incompatible with its power and fight to the death!"

Zhang Shenyan almost spit out a mouthful of blood after hearing this: I have never seen such a shameless person!
